Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Radjabov has nothing to lose. I hope he sacs a Rook or Bishop to try to complicate and win.
I think it’s only fair to write when there is a chess tournament, to invite many visitors.
Even if Radjabov wins, he won;t be deserving it. It is better to let Magnus win one more game.
You are so kind in writing all this chess news, that we would otherwise need hours of searching to find. Thank you and God bless.
Where can I find a list of top ten or more best US chess players, both men and women?
What’s the difference between Magnus Carlsen and a pizza with cheese?
News to ponder on from other place:
IM Mas Hafizulhelmi wins 3-0 against National Junior Master Muhammad Tariq Amru in the first Quarter Final match held at DATCC on the 31st July and 1st August 2009.
‘What’s the difference between Magnus Carlsen and a pizza with cheese?’
I have no idea? Do enlighten us!
Magnus is very handsome!
Chess and Arms:
He lifted his arms,
“Mate soon!,” he said
As he locked his fingers
Behind his head.
He considered the move
He was soon to make
That would end the struggle.
This victory he’d take.
He arched his back,
Took a satisfied breath,
Then looked at me
Like the spectre of death.
An impish smile
Stretched across his face,
And his eyes rolled back
In a pleased grimace.
“My rook goes here
And takes your queen,
Then my knight jumps to
Where your bishop has been.”
I studied the board.
He was quite correct.
His analysis clear.
His calculations checked.
I searched my brain
For the right finesse
A subtle move that would
Display my best.
Then Caissa spoke
My muse! My rhyme!
I pointed to his clock,
“You’re out of time.”
CARLSEN FOR PRESIDENT!
This tournament is over and done. Let’s move on, shall we? I suggest reviewing the richest chess federation of all – The Kingdom of Brunei.
‘CARLSEN FOR PRESIDENT!’
Would Carlsen pass an IQ test, I wonder a lot? I know many FEDE people wouldn’t, and he’s been too friendly with many of them lately.
My pick is Wang Yue.
Your pick for what?
